Giant US companies are rushing to Europe to borrow money ​  

Summary: US companies are borrowing in euros at record rates, driven by concerns about Trump’s tariff threats and potential market volatility in the US. This trend, known as reverse Yankee deals, has seen a 35% increase in value this year, accounting for nearly 14% of overall euro corporate issuance. The attractiveness of euro bonds is further boosted by lower interest rates and a strengthening euro against the dollar, making them a more cost-effective option for companies with European operations.
